I offered *Tavaris to help her when she has any questions about cging. Since I couldn't answer her questions without showing her something in PS I decided to make a tutorial. It covers a few basics like inking (thanks again to *LandingZone), an optimal inking and coloring size, lazy-ass selecting areas via the Magic wand tool and lasso tool. The next part will cover the coloring process and clipping masks (formally known as "groups" in PS 7).

yes this is what i get the little box with brush opinsons but which do i change heres a screen shot [link] .... and thank you so much you are beging a real help! i can't belive you would do all this for me.

Like I said before, for the graphictablet options you need to click in the little black arrow thingy (you might need to click on it several times, somehow my PS seems to have trouble recognizing that I slicked it :/). Here is a screenshot: [link]If you press the arrow this little window will pop up. You need to check the first box to enable PS to use the pressure sensitivity of the tablet.

I just mentioned the brush window for future reference. ALthough you can change "Space" (I think it is called like that in english) you can change the number to 0%.Sadly I couldn't find a way to add a texture to the brush like you can do in PS CS. But at least you now should have a penpressure sensitive brush.

sorry to be a pain but how do i get my brush like that? all wavey... i have adobe photoshops elements 8 and when i go ontp default brush all i get is a round one that brush does pop up randomly tho but i can't figure how to change it could you help me please?

Sorry for my late reply. IN case you are still stuck with the problem, I can maybe still help.

As I can see there is no Brush palette window (which you'd need to change the brush settings). In the upper bar go to Window->Brushes, this should display the brush palette window. I hope that works, because from what I see PSE is much more different from PS CS then I thought.

yes i had herd other people say that but no it not in the windows. i Did how ever look in filter and find theres a thing that says brush strokes it comes up with lots of diffrent oppsions anm sending you anther screen shot. and i know they are very diffrent /:

wait never mind i just had a look and its only changing the effect this is such a pain because i know i cna get it but it only comes randomly there must be a way to do it

Ok, I got an older version of PS Elements with my tablet together. Installed it and searched for the options. I think I found it. I reused your screenshot, because my version of PS Elements is in a different language. [link]I marked it on the screenshot. Press the little black arrow thingy (marked in red) and a little window will pop up with graphictablet options. YOu need to have the first box where it says "Size" checked. If you click on the brush thingy on the right (marked in blue on the screenshot) you will get a window with additional brush options.

First you need a tablet and then go in PS (I use PS CS3) to the brush palette, click on "Shape dynamics" and there right under "Size Jitter" there is the Control menu. Click on the arrow and choose "Pen pressure" and make sure that "Size Jitter" and "Minimum diameter" are at 0%.I also normally choose when on "Brush tip shape" the "Spacing" at 0% not the default 25%.

Do you mean your brush does not change its shape in any way when you draw with your tablet pen, or your brush doesn't look like mine in the picture? If it's the latter then that's because of practise. You need to practise and play with the pen pressure to be able to make strokes the way you want. Inking is one of the hardest parts (at least for me) when drawing a picture.
